CalExit - We can always hope!

The voters of California have no say in the status if their state in the Union or its ability to leave. That was the singe factor of consideration in the U.S. Civil War and the exact reason it was fought. It seems that people lose sight of that fact on a regular basis. It also seems that the people of California actually think we care what their opinion is!

Anyone advocating the succession of a state is guilty of treason.

A state can only separate from the Union with the permission of all the other states of the Union or by winning a war of rebellion.

If Hillary had won and Texas, Kentucky, Tennessee or Alabama had suggested succession the citizens of California would be calling them fools.

Besides, in spite of the stupidity and weirdness of the place and its people the rest of the Union can not afford to release them. California generates 1/4 of our GNP.

Since the fools are mostly socialists it is only fitting that they subsidize some of the other states and I can ot understand why they are whining about it.

Shhh! Let 'em leave...

[Mortblanc]

Only if they take Oregon and Washington state with them, build a wall from Canada to Mexico and give up their rights to move in and out of the U.S. at will.

Every state in the west is gripping right now about the fruits, nuts and flakes moving intl their area and trying to turn them into colonies of California.

We do not want them leaving the Union and then the individuals moving back as they tire of the tax burden, fear of the lack of law enforcement or legal discrimination at the hands of the minority coalitions.

Is their drought over then,if it isn't it would be foolish to attempt to leave,as they might need to relocate parts of their economy to other states to survive.

The drought is over and the reservoirs are bursting at the seams. They will be lucky to survive the flooding that will come with the spring thaw.

The California drought was mostly political anyway. The eco-terrorists had stopped the flow of water from the Colorado river to California to insure the survival of some kind of minnow. California was built and dependent on water from the Colorado River from the time of the founding of Los Angeles and the southern California metropolis.

It is not really a drought if you built the city in the desert in the first place, then shut off the water on purpose.

That whole area, from the 100th meridian to the Pacific coast was originally called the "Great American Desert". None of it gets more than 10" of rain in the average year and decades of drought are the norm for that whole corner of the continent.

Every concentration of population in that area has been placed there artificially because there is not enough natural water available to sustain either population or agriculture.

Cheers thanks for the update.
